If you’re in your 70’s and it’s a bear, the shovel part might be a bit much.

A real problem in this part of the country—he was in MA—is that you couldn’t count on a jury of your peers automatically throwing this out.
To: Pearls Before Swine
He’s a vet that owns a guns? Does he even have peers in MA??

Mass. Stupid.
The new gun laws allow them to criminalize everyone. Then remove their right to bear arms. That is the plan.
The insane are running the Asylum.

The problem isn’t dangerous bears but dangerous leftists, obviously.

Second Ammendment is the only permit necessary.
Take it to the USSC!
It’s a damn shotgun, not a tank!
No law can obligate you to be a victim!

So much for his “Golden Years.” He’s going to have to blow his nest egg to keep out of the slammer, and will be left broke, broken and on the state’s dole. For shooting a bear.

Go for a Jury trial, cause lawyers do not have much of a grasp on reality.

Here’s an interesting thought exercise. Had the gentleman had the right permit, would the outcome have been any different? No. The bear would still be dead, the human alive. Great! So what is the point of the permit anyway? Apparently we don’t need permits to achieve the desired outcome, so for efficiency’s sake, lets just eliminated permits. In these tough economic times, we can’t afford to waste resources on stupid, obviously useless things like these permits.

” will be left broke”
which is why he should sue under one of the various united states codes (I forget which one) for civil liberty infringment.
